Ellen Baake

Last updated

Ellen Baake (born 1961) [1] is a German mathematical biologist who works as a professor of biomathematics and theoretical bioinformatics at Bielefeld University. Her research uses probability theory and differential equations to study biological evolution; she has also studied mathematical immunobiology [1] and the mathematical modeling of photosynthesis. [2]

Baake earned a diploma in biology in 1985 from the University of Bonn, and completed her Ph.D. there in theoretical biology in 1989. [3] Her dissertation, Ein Differentialgleichungsmodell zur Beschreibung der Fluoreszenzinduktion (OIDP-Kinetik) der Photosynthese, was supervised by Wolfgang Alt  [ de ]. [2] She earned a habilitation at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in 1999 and, after holding faculty positions at several other universities, joined Bielefeld University in 2004. [3]

Baake was an invited speaker at the 2010 International Congress of Mathematicians. [4]

Bielefeld University is a public university in Bielefeld, Germany. Founded in 1969, it is one of the country's newer universities, and considers itself a "reform" university, following a different style of organization and teaching than the established universities. In particular, the university aims to "re-establish the unity between research and teaching", and so all its faculty teach courses in their area of research. The university also stresses a focus on interdisciplinary research, helped by the architecture, which encloses all faculties in one great structure. It is among the first of the German universities to switch some faculties to Bachelor/Master-degrees as part of the Bologna process.
